Two-Stage Adaptive Optimal Design with Fixed First-Stage Sample Size
In adaptive optimal procedures, the design at each stage is an estimate of the optimal design based on all previous data. Asymptotics for regular models with fixed number of stages are straightforward if one assumes the sample size of each stage goes to infinity with the overall sample size. However, it is not uncommon for a small pilot study of fixed size to be followed by a much larger experi...
متن کاملTwo-stage Sample Design with Small Clusters
In two-stage surveys, the sample size of clusters and units within clusters can be chosen to minimise the variance of an estimator, for fixed cost. This paper considers sample designs where the number of units to be selected from each cluster is a function of the cluster size. If there are only a small number of units in each cluster, as in household surveys, then the optimisation should be ove...
متن کاملAdaptive two-stage bioequivalence trials with early stopping and sample size re-estimation
Bioequivalence between two products has to be demonstrated as an essential part of the generic approval process (new formulation vs. innovator product), bridging an innovator’s product from the formulation used in clinical phase III to the marketed formulation, or in case of major variations of an approved product. The most common design of bioequivalence studies is a twosequence two-period two...
متن کاملAn optimal stratified Simon two-stage design
In Phase II oncology trials, therapies are increasingly being evaluated for their effectiveness in specific populations of interest. Such targeted trials require designs that allow for stratification based on the participants' molecular characterisation. A targeted design proposed by Jones and Holmgren (JH) Jones CL, Holmgren E: 'An adaptive Simon two-stage design for phase 2 studies of targete...
متن کاملTwo-stage sampling for etiologic studies. Sample size and power.
Preexisting computerized databases are potentially valuable sources of epidemiologic data. Since such databases are infrequently created specifically for etiologic research, data may be available for the exposure of interest and, through record linkage, for the endpoint of interest, but lacking for potential confounders. Because of the size of these databases, two-stage sampling is an efficient...
